Honolulu? Who gives the subject
thought, when an unlimited supply OF
serviIe labor is procurable if only public
sympathy pointed in that direction?
And that it 80 points at the present
time is to a very large extent true.
But Notwithstanding these social de-
fects. and notwithstanding the moral
obliquity which renders these detects
possible, there are many men OF good
character in this community who cannot
find employment. 1t is not SO much
question of wages as it is OF earning
enough to buy food and hire shelter.
This truth has been very fprcibly
presented to us by Major Charles I,
Gulick, who has been brought into dl-
rect contact with the unemployed in his
new labor agency business. There are
at least twenty men on his list able and
willing to work who can find nothing to
do. One of these has broken down in
health through exposure, sleeping out
of doors at nights. He is type OF a
class that is becoming numerous, and
we cannot help thinking that it is con-
dition of restitution which should be i'm
possible in Honolulu.
1t is not for us to say how this evil is
to be remedied. Indeed, we almost hest
tate to recommend Or suggest anything
in the way of humane beneficence or
amelioration of human suffering, but we
cannot help saying upon this occasion
that a consultation with Major
Gulick might do good. 1t might
bring relief to deserving people who
seek work and do not want to depend
upon charity, and it might at the same
time supply reliable labor to those in
need of it.

How a Joking Machine Works.

young man OF my acquaintance who
has always been considered an odd stick,
not because he lacks common sense, but
because he has a strange habit of doing
things in his own way, told me that hav-
ing gone lately to live in suburban town,
and being unable to read in the cars with
out injury to his eyes, he had hit upon the
following expedient for passing the time
on his journey to and fro. He sits apart
from his friends, apparently wrapped in
gloomy reflections but really engaged in
connecting humorous paragraphs which
he sells. He has laid out his work quite
after the manner of Anthony Trollope,
sternly requiring of himself one joke for
every trip, and so well does he succeed
that he very rarely fails on a Saturday to
post twelve items of merchantable quality.
On Sunday of course he has holiday
He told me also, and / am curious to
know if the experience of other profess
sional humorists is the same, that the
business is done best in cloudy and stormy
weather. On fine morning, he says, his
attention is distracted and he sometimes
reaches Boston quite jokeless; whereas in
q driving snow storm he often picks up
two and even three very fair paragraphs
during the journey, especially when the
train is little late. A succession of fine
days last month nearly ruined him, but he
expects to do very well in March and
April Boston Post.

Tbeodore Tilton,s contented Life.


Mr.. Tilton is passing now, he tells his
friends, the most peaceful and contented
years of his life. 1t is three years since
he domiciled himself in Paris, and he will
probably end his days there. He has a
floor in a grand old mansion, once the
home of the Dues de Nemours, an ancient
building on the lie de Paris, back of Notre
Dame, in the very heart Of historic asso-
Citations Here he spends much Of his time,
writing, reading, living happily within
himself. For the rest, he is free TO dine
wherever his vagrant fancy dictates, to
find cOmpanionship wherever he chooses.
Most often he is to be met late afternoons
at the Cafe Regence one of the very few
of the famous pre-revelution resorts which
the Decentralization of the right bank
of the Seine has LETT intact. Here for
century and more have the best chess
players of Paris assembled. Alfred de
MuSset was a habitue, and many of the
older men remember him well.
a far more distinguished frequenter of
the RcGence-whom few enough of the
company can recall having seen even in
his later hfe-was a certain keen eyed,
aquiline messed young lieutenant of artll-
lery, II Napoleon BOnaparte. A little

of fame or Of especial achievement come
now to IN. Tilton. The work upon which
he Is ENGAGED is understood to be ephem-
eral in Character-dOne as much for the
sake Of occupation and mental relief as
anything else. His chief interest is to like
his life and TO keep it smooth, uneventful,
restful, within the compass of simple de-
sires and pleasant associations. New

A Fascinating Detective.

A dashing young clerk in a brokers'
Office recently had some experience with a
pretty, vivacious girl attached to a private
detective bureau. He was living at a
more rapid gait than his salary warranted.
After two male detectives had failed to
get into the young swelIs confidence, the
pretty operator took the case. 1t was a
delicate, not to say hazardous, undertake
ing. The most difficult step was making
the clerks acquaintance without exciting
his suspicious, but she accomplished that
by buying some stocks and opening an
account in the office. After few visits
and an encouraging smile or two. the
clerk suggested a visit to the theatre
The invitation was accepted and the Iady's
address given, and after that there were
champagne suppers, the opera and a gen
eral good time. The fact that the yoT1np
man was spending too much money was
soon evident, and one evening he called at
his charmer's boarding house to learn that
she had gone away, leaving no message or
address.
But IN the course of the Investigation
the pretty detective had also discovered
that the culprit was generous chan and
not a bad fellow in the main, although
rathef reckless, and she had begun to like
nm more than she cared to own to herself.
20 she induced the broker to promise that
ne would make no public exposure, but
would tell the culprit of the error of his
course and give him a chance to make
restitution. That rapid young man is not
yet aware that his detection and his par
don We're both due to the mysterious and
fascinating SpecUietor in stocks who
shared Prs champagne suppers and sud
denly disappeared - New York Cor.

UNEMPLOYED LABOR.

One would be apt to think that there
is no unemployed labor in this country
if one listened only to the deleful tales OF
housekeepers. Chinese help is domineer-
ing, expensive and unreliable; japanese
labor is scarce and unsatisfactory; while
Portuguese labor is unframed. The re-
suit of all is great domestic discomfort
and waste, and a gradual submission to
Chinese domination the natural out
come of their persistence and organiza-
ton. But outside these three divisions
of labor, who knows anything or cares
anything about the working classes in

Few Wolves in Prussia.

There are very few wolves in Prussia,
only four having been killed, and it is a
curious fact that the German wolves
seem to have followed the German army
almost en- masse into France during the
winter of 1870, and to have remained
there. In the provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine the number Of wolves killed dur
ing the year was thirty-seven, in addition
to 1850 foxes and 152 wildcats.-London

The Constitution.

On September II, one hundred years

presided over by George Washington

ter nearly four months session, having
adopted the Constitution afterwards
ratified by the States. The centennial
of this event is 10 be appropriately cele-
brated in Philadelphia on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of the present
week.
When the Constitution was framed
there were thirteen States in the Union.
Now the-e are thivty-eight. The ponu-
lation of the United States in 1870,
when the fist census was taken, was 81
929.2l4. 1t is now nearly or quite Co.

Federal ofiice-hOlders IN the country.
There are now more than 100000 The
total net ordinary receipts o: the United
States in 1892 were 81 G6l 600. In 1856
they were 1896, 439, ,OOO. The total net
ordinary expenditures in 1872 were SS.-
